 Fodor´s Argentina, 2nd, 3rd and 4th editions
Brian traveled more than one thousand miles through the rugged Patagonia region of Argentina to update and expand the Patagonia chapter of Fodor´s Argentina, 2nd edition. Along the way he swam in the Rio Negro on the banks of the towns of Viedma and Carmen de Patagones, strolled with a horde of Magellanic penguins in Peninsula Valdez, visited a traditional Welsh tea house in Gaiman, and hiked through the thick forests of Tierra del Fuego National Park in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.
For Fodor´s Argentina 3rd edition, Brian re-visited some of the top sights in his adopted hometown of Buenos Aires, updating and expanding the Buenos Aires chapter of the world´s most popular English-language tour guide.
